Worst Movies of All Time 2012 Top 10

Our fans know and love bad movies just as much as we do, and when it came to our survey of the Worst Movies of All Time, they let their voices be heard! And now, we present to you, the Top 10 Worst Movies Ever, as voted on by our fans.

9. Son of the Mask (14,680 votes)

“Somebody sssssstop me! No seriously, somebody please stop me, I’m planning to make a sequel to The Mask, eleven years after the original, without Jim Carrey, but with Jamie Kennedy, a dog, and a dancing baby. This is a cry for help.”

8. Jack and Jill (15,720 votes)

Adam Sandler plays Jack! Adam Sandler also plays his sister Jill! What could possibly go wrong, besides everything? Sandler portrays a very successful, well-adjusted man whose twin sister (himself in a wig) is a horrible inhuman shrew with a voice that can strip industrial paint. And if Sandler doing woman-loathing drag isn’t enough, this movie also thoroughly humiliates Al Pacino in the process. Well done, J and J!

Seeing John Travolta dance and sing with Olivia Newton John is, yes, a horror beyond human reckoning. But seeing him strap on giant Gene Simmons-style platform boots, dreadlocks and crotch-hugging leather pants to play some sort of sadistic alien in this L. Ron Hubbard mess will make you want to rend your eyes out with a shrimp fork. Oh, and every single shot in the film is tilted at a vomit-inducing angle. You can get our riff of it here.

6. Super Mario Bros. (17,755 votes)

This adaptation took the bright, colorful world of the Mushroom Kingdom and turned it into a post-apocalyptic wasteland coated in fungal goop. Throw in performances from Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo, and you had legions of young Nintendo fans saying, “Mommy, I think I want a Sega Genesis now.” Watch the RiffTrax Super Mario Bros. parody!

Evidently this movie is full of affronts and blasphemy to the canon of the Nickelodeon cartoon show it is based on. As grown men, we cannot comment on the accuracy of the claims, which are usually made in all caps on someone’s Tumblr. We CAN state for the record that it is quite easy to detest this movie even if you’ve never seen a frame of the TV show. We hope that Jake Lloyd has a standing offer to commiserate over a beer with the young star (name: That F&*#ing Kid from The Last Airbender) when he turns 21. And yes, we've riffed it.

So: you have one of the most famous, bankable Marvel superheroes in a successful two-movie series so far. Time to round it out into a trilogy. And with great power comes great responsib -- aw, to hell with it! Let’s make everything as dumb and campy as possible! Overstuffed with villains and characters and subplots and doofy little Spider-dances, this third movie is way too long and still feels like it was written in a half-hour. Watch advisedly, with a can of Raid in hand!

3. Catwoman (22,544 votes)

If you put Halle Berry in a leather catsuit and STILL wind up with a 3/10 user rating on IMDb, you’ve done something wrong. You’ve done something terribly, permanently, Cthulhu-rising-from-the-sea wrong.

Here’s a fun thing to do: 1) Watch Batman and Robin. 2) Think about the fact that the huge Teutonic idiot stumbling around in a metal costume making horrible “cold” puns was elected Governor of the most populous and wealthy state in America -- twice! 3) Move to an abandoned oil derrick in the Atlantic ocean and start your own country.

There’s a lot to cover in this vast, sprawling film series so let us try to boil it down for you: “Mumble mumble mumble moon eyes. Mumble mumble mumble mumble lay in a field. Mumble mumble mumble perv on a baby. Mumble.”

Congratulations Twilight! You are the Worst Movie of All Time as voted by the RiffTrax audience. Tune in next year for our second annual poll and see if you can continue to be the top movie people love to hate!
